About this deal

An older nun, she was both teacher and inspiration to Nancy Manahan, who was at the time in her first year at the Maryknoll Missionary Sisters’ Novitiate near St. Van Bouquet-achtige verhalen (ik heb nooit een Bouquet-reeks boek gelezen, maar wat ik mij daarbij voorstel) tot oprechte, integere verhalen van (ex-)nonnen met lesbische gevoelens. In Nederland komen dergelijke verhalen weinig voor en anders had ik het wel geweten (de kloosterwereld is erg klein).

Lesbian Nuns: Breaking Silence is not an analytical work that’s been edited to analyze its subject; rather it’s formed of primary sources, mostly unedited, but these take many forms, from simple straightforward narratives to interviews to diaries and dream journals. A group of nuns become possessed by demons and are then tortured in a dungeon of horrors during the inquisition. I'm not sure how representative that is of lesbian ex-nuns as a whole (or ex-nuns as a whole—I can only think of one I know myself, and she's very much of the radical-activist bent), but, well, it's lovely to see them pushing the boundaries of what one thinks when one thinks nun. The book opens doors for anyone who’s ever felt an outsider, who ever felt they had to pass for mainstream,” said Curb, a 45-year-old associate professor of English at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla.

This eye opening book is a compilation of 50 lesbian nuns personal accounts of their years in the convent. They also embodied a new understanding of church “where all God’s people live in pure love, social justice and truth,” she said.

Divorce has absolutely nothing on breaking up with Jesus Christ and your entire life plan and community!Omdat mijn beeld van nonnen en het kloosterleven erg veranderden door dit boek, heb ik het er met een novice over gehad.

That being said, the text is highly colloquial, and wasn't heavily edited for readability and publishing standards. Sequoia said she, like many of the former sisters interviewed by Curb and Manahan, felt a spiritual void when she left her religious community.

Some described their feelings of attraction to girls since they were young, but not one said she entered because she wanted to fall in love with another nun. Barbara Grier and Donna McBride, who owned Naiad Press the book's publisher, sold four of its stories to Penthouse Forum causing controversy in the lesbian community because the magazine was seen as an exploitative, erotic journal with a largely male heterosexual audience and the women had not given permission for their stories to be used.No way did I think I would finish this one, but it was the best waking up and going to bed reading—lots of little stories, giving perspective on their time and the Catholic Church and the transitions I was working through in my life. Loved seeing how, for some of them, Vatican II was a change that came too late; for others, it was something unwanted, enough of a disruption to be a catalyst for leaving. In the 60's and 70's, when the majority of these nuns entered the convent, the cloistered walls offered a perceived haven from marriage, an opportunity to obtain a college education, and a sanctuary/respite from dating pressures for those with confused sexual identities. Back in those days it is entirely likely that “celibacy” was interpreted as refraining from potentially procreative sex, not as refraining from any sexual contact. Although there were often punishments for nuns who slept together, the definition of sex was different at the time, meaning it was not considered sex if there was no man involved, and therefore nuns could have relationships with each other without comprising their chasity vows.
